# mcp-server-unitycatalog: An Unity Catalog MCP server

## Overview

A Model Context Protocol server for [Unity Catalog](https://www.unitycatalog.io/). This server provides [Unity Catalog Functions](https://docs.unitycatalog.io/usage/functions/) as MCP tools.

### Tools

You can use **all Unity Catalog Functions registered in Unity Catalog** alongside the following predefined Unity Catalog AI tools:

1. `uc_list_functions`
   - Lists functions within the specified parent catalog and schema.
   - Returns: A list of functions retrieved from Unity Catalog.

2. `uc_get_function`
   - Gets a function within a parent catalog and schema.
   - Input:
     - `name` (string): The name of the function (not fully-qualified).
   - Returns: A function details retrieved from Unity Catalog.

3. `uc_create_function`
   - Creates a function within a parent catalog and schema. **WARNING: This API is experimental and will change in future versions**.
   - Input:
     - `name` (string): The name of the function (not fully-qualified).
     - `script` (string): The Python script including the function to be registered.
   - Returns: A function details created within Unity Catalog.

4. `uc_delete_function`
   - Deletes a function within a parent catalog and schema.
   - Input:
     - `name` (string): The name of the function (not fully-qualified).
   - Returns: None.

## Installation

### Using uv

When using [`uv`](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) no specific installation is needed. We will use
[`uvx`](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/guides/tools/) to directly run *mcp-server-git*.

## Configuration

These values can also be set via CLI options or `.env` environment variables. Required arguments are the Unity Catalog server, catalog, and schema, while the access token and verbosity level are optional. Run `uv run mcp-server-unitycatalog --help` for more detailed configuration options.

| Argument                   | Environment Variable | Description                                                                        | Required/Optional |
|----------------------------|----------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------|
| `-u`, `--uc_server`        | `UC_SERVER`          | The base URL of the Unity Catalog server.                                          | Required          |
| `-c`, `--uc_catalog`       | `UC_CATALOG`         | The name of the Unity Catalog catalog.                                             | Required          |
| `-s`, `--uc_schema`        | `UC_SCHEMA`          | The name of the schema within a Unity Catalog catalog.                             | Required          |
| `-t`, `--uc_token`         | `UC_TOKEN`           | The access token used to authorize API requests to the Unity Catalog server.       | Optional          |
| `-v`, `--uc_verbosity`     | `UC_VERBOSITY`       | The verbosity level for logging. Default: `warn`.                                  | Optional          |
| `-l`, `--uc_log_directory` | `UC_LOG_DIRECTORY`   | The directory where log files will be stored. Default: `.mcp_server_unitycatalog`. | Optional          |

### Usage with Claude Desktop or VSCode Cline

Add this to your `claude_desktop_config.json` (or `cline_mcp_settings.json`):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "unitycatalog": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/<path to your local git repository>/mcp-server-unitycatalog",
        "run",
        "mcp-server-unitycatalog",
        "--uc_server",
        "<your unity catalog url>",
        "--uc_catalog",
        "<your catalog name>",
        "--uc_schema",
        "<your schema name>"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

<summary>Using docker</summary>

* Note: replace '/Users/username' with the a path that you want to be accessible by this tool

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "unitycatalog": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "--rm",
        "-i",
        "mcp/unitycatalog",
        "--uc_server",
        "<your unity catalog url>",
        "--uc_catalog",
        "<your catalog name>",
        "--uc_schema",
        "<your schema name>"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
</details>

## Building

Docker:

```bash
docker build -t mcp/unitycatalog .   
```

## Future Plans

- [x] Implement support for `list_functions`.
- [x] Implement support for `get_function`.
- [x] Implement support for `create_python_function`.
- [x] Implement support for `execute_function`.
- [x] Implement support for `delete_function`.
- [ ] Implement semantic catalog explorer tools.
- [x] Add Docker image.
- [ ] Implement `use_xxx` methods. In the current implementation, `catalog` and `schema` need to be defined when starting the server. However, they will be implemented as `use_catalog` and `use_schema` functions, dynamically updating the list of available functions when the `use_xxx` is executed.
